CRAZED SPATULA
E no de barb ah, cancel
Ein fellow black man deɛ forget;
e never go seek ein counsel
What’s from the west be the best
Forgetting all the lives e mess
Up in the air de swing
Swatting at everything of the indigene
The Clorox e take detox whitewash ein brain
Make e de concoct ein own potions of demise
Meanwhile e de feel say e be wise
Vodun?
Swat!
E want Cristo
Agbada?
Swat!
E want three piece suit
Atadwe?
Swat!
E want Maltesers
Mali?
Swat!
E want Bali
FOH with your Takoradi
E want go LA ah, you say Labadi
Swinging away till the end of ein days
